Wraith really wasn't a stupidly reckless person. In fact, she was usually cautious to the point of paranoia. And she hadn't forgotten that she'd almost been raped the last time she was at Sharkey's. But...
Goblin was in the Refuge. Risk was supposed to get him out, but there was no guarantee he'd follow through. She'd just threatened and blackmailed an undercover cop, who now strongly suspected she was responsible for a murder of another cop, and if that wasn't going to come back to bite her...well, she needed something for her nerves before she exploded. And Kennedy wasn't home. Might be out with a boy for all she knew. That was the last straw.
She breathed in the contents of the pipe, flopped back against her pillow, and mused that at least she'd brought a knife this time.

Copper was pumping full of adrenaline and he needed to come back down to earth. So he made the extra journey to Brooklyn so Sapphy wouldn't catch him at Sharkey's.
He plopped down on one of the worn-out silk pillows and took tried to take a moment to breathe. Maybe he didn't need this. Who was he kidding?

Some guy came in and joined her. Not exactly surprising, but she tensed up anyway, her hand wrapped around the handle of the blade in her pocket, even as the calming smoke washed over her. With an effort, she managed not to look his way.

Copper glanced at the blonde but didn't say anything to her. He finally gave in and took a long drag from the mouthpiece. He sighed.
"Sometimes even this ain't enough," he lamented.

"Enough for what?" Wraith murmured, closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. Some people liked to talk when they were getting high, and they might get annoyed if you didn't answer.

"For a fix," Copper explained, growing more and more lazy with each syllable.

"Mmmm. Well." She was starting to drift a bit, thank God. "There's other options, I guess."

She blushed furiously, thinking of very private moments in a certain attic. "Like, uh. Other...options."

Copper lost interest pretty fast and instead took another hit.

Wraith did the same and drifted farther from the earth. She was floating, and it was very nice, as always. "They should all come here," she said aloud to herself, "get rid of the tension. Everyone's so tense!" She giggled a little.

"Hungry for secrets," said Wraith, who succumbed to this stuff pretty fast. She glanced hopefully at the redhead. "Do you know any secrets?"

"None worth knowing," he sighed unfortunately.

She sighed back and took another drag. "I know a lot of secrets, but I am not going to tell them," she announced dramatically.
